± The Grid Layout spec implicitly defines 'start' and 'end' as the first and last lines of the 
± grid, respectively. While this might make sense for grid columns, it conflicts with our

Are there other places where "first" and "last" are used with similar meaning?

Renaming for consistency elsewhere would be a good reason. 

Renaming because there is something wrong with grid having symmetrical model in 2 dimensions seems questionable. We have chosen to use start/end for 'flex-align' *because* it is what grid is using - with same motivation. Why would we suddenly become shy of naming grid lines to match alignment directions??
